    Hi wriley3,

    To try to resolve the problem, with a flashlight or other light brilliant, please check the area of the paper feed printer and check that there is no jam or obstruction in the printer that can cause the error.   Once this has been done, please look inside the printer where the ink and make sure that there are no obstacles in there that may be responsible for the print head does not move freely.  Then, remove and reinstall all the ink cartridges in the printer.

    If you still encounter the same error after following the instructions above, please turn the printer off, unplug the power cord at the back and leave it for at least 10 minutes, then plug back in and turn it on again.  If the error persists, the device will require maintenance to solve the problem.  Please call or write to us at one of the methods on the contact us page to get your service options.

  • Why NAS network credentials are missing (error code 0 x 80070056) even if the username and password are correct?

    When I try to create a system image on a network location Windows asks the credentials network for the target location. The credentials, I get are correct, but I still receive an error message that the location cannot be used because the password is not correct (error code 0 x 80070056).
    Screenshot

    The location of the target is a share on a netdrive - D - Link DNS-323. And the part I want access to the backup is already mapped to my computer.

    In fact, I got the same error when I traced the netdrive.
    Instead of just using the entered user name Windows 7 adds the computer as field in front of the user name-/ login in this schema: Name\Login name of the computer

    I guess, because of the addition of 'domain', authentication fails because the network drive does not recognize the name of the connection with the addition of domain. The network credentials window Windows always said that the (certainly correct) password is incorrect. If you check the box to save connection information, the Explorer will open up the reader, even if authentication failed. And now the mapped drives automatically reconnect and can be viewed on the browser without problems.

    Is this behavior a bug in Windows 7? Any way to fix or work around this problem?

    Hi Th_Row,

    You are on the right track with the help of the name of the computer you want to connect. Have you tried to use the domain\username of the device name? The default device name is dlink-[last 6 characters of the MAC address].
    For example: dlink-ECEA07
    If your final username should look like this: dlink-ECEA07\UserName
    You can also connect to your NAS server and click the device on the left. On the screen you should see the name; Is the name of your device.
    Try that and let me know if it works!
